Hi...Whats the difference between a Purchase Order and Purchase Invoice ?
Currently we pay our supplier at time of order and use a purchase order form for our ref...is there anything stopping me using a purchase invoice so that i can tie a payment into that supplier with a customer order ?
Hi Adrian,
A purchase order is simply a request to supply goods or services. Your supplier my choose to deny the request, so the PO doesn't have any affect on your account balances.
A purchase invoice is a document showing that your supplier has provided the goods or services and so it increases the balance of the associated expense account in Solar Accounts. You should use a purchase invoice in your case with the amount paid in the 'Paid Today' field.
Cheers
